Trillium Creek Park Concept Plan (aka Anderegg property)
The City of Damascus and North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) partnered to develop a concept plan for a neighborhood park on NCPRD’s Anderegg property in the Trillium neighborhood. The final concept plan for the Anderegg property is complete! Thank you to everyone who attended the public design meetings or contributed to the design through emails and phone calls. Those who participated provided thoughtful input on their priorities for park features as well as the layout of the park. City staff, NCPRD staff and members from the Damascus Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) worked with the park designers to develop a final concept plan that most reflected the desires of the residents and that would create a park that is durable, maintainable and cost conscious.
As part of the design process, citizens nominated names for the park. The name “Trillium Creek Park” received the most nominations by far. The name has been forwarded to the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners, acting as the Governing Body of NCPRD, for review and approval as the recommended name for the park.
The final concept plan and comments received at the public open houses will guide design of the park play equipment and final construction documents during the next phase of the project. NCPRD and the City will select playground equipment that best fits the site, community preferences, NCPRD maintenance standards and project budget.
Trillium Creek Park On-Site Open House
Join us for our third Open House, and check out the new concept plan for Trillium Creek Park. City and North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District representatives will be on-site at Trillium Creek Park from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, April 25 to speak residents about the final design, the park’s future, and opportunities for further involvement.
North Clackamas Park-North Side
The area north of Camas Creek presents an opportunity to create a passive recreation setting with an emphasis on environmental enhancement and education to balance the active recreation opportunities south of the creek. The key goal of the plan is to minimize environmental and property impacts, provide for ease of maintenance and longevity and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for the community. NCPRD is working toward adoption of the North Clackamas Park – North Side Master Plan within the City of Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan. Concept Map
The six-mile trail that NCPRD purchased in 2001 will serve as the western portion of a 20-mile regional loop trail (connecting with the Springwater Corridor and the I-205 trails). Come and celebrate the trail’s completion on June 2! Stay tuned for details.
NCPRD and Clackamas County Parks are working together to begin wildfire management planning. The 2005 Clackamas County Wildfire Protection Plan was designed to protect life, property and the environment; and to preserve, rehabilitate and enhance natural systems to serve natural hazard mitigation functions. The wildfire planning project will work to expand that plan within the parks. Phase I of the project began in summer 2010 and will include selecting parks with the highest risk, such as Mt. Talbert Nature Park, identifying projects to reduce fuel loads and creating wildfire management plants. Phase II will begin its implementation.
Luther Road Habitat Restoration Project
NCPRD, the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) and Metro recently partnered to purchase a 10-acre property between Johnson Creek and the Springwater Corridor. BES will soon begin the Luther Road Habitat Restoration Project on the property while NCPRD plans to create a park on the site in the future. For more details on the BES project click the Luther Road Habitat Restoration Project website link above.
Hood View Park offers four full size, all-weather turf softball/baseball fields with lights, one inlay multi-purpose field and a concessions building. Future phases may include a skate park, play areas and a dog run.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
NCPRD develops and maintains a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is a planning tool designed to guide the implementation of the District’s Master Plan and to provide acquisition and development of parks and recreation facilities during the next 20 years.
Mt. Scott – Scouter Mountain Loop Trail Master Plan
North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD), along with the City of Portland, Metro, and Clackamas County are partnering to develop a master plan for a trail that would loop around Mt. Scott and Scouter Mt. in the Portland, Happy Valley, and Clackamas area. The proposed regional trail would be about 17 miles and connect the Springwater Corridor and Powell Butte in the north to Mt. Talbert and the Clackamas River to the south. The trail would serve transportation, commuter and recreational needs.
